HSC SUBJECTS :) (will be graduating in 2015) (1 Viewer)

Hi guys, I'm currently in a bit of a dilemma here because I don't know if I should take up history extension

I'm currently have 12 units and I do these subjects:
- Adv English
- SOR 2
- PDHPE
- Legal Studies
- Society and Culture
- Ancient History

I would be having 11 units if I drop PDHPE or 13 units if I take up his ext.
I really want an 80+ ATAR but I'm scared that I won't be able to get it. If any of you have past papers please share & any useful tips that can help me excel.

Maybe drop down in SORI? Then you'll have twelve?

Drop to 10 units.

True, that would work but I feel like in doing pretty well in that subject but I would hate to move classes and have a new teacher.

That'd be too risky ... It's not recommended to have 10 units because you really have to excel in them with like no faults.

Wrong, I stuffed up some assessments and still got 90+

If you can't feel safe or cope with 10, how can you cope with 12?

11 is meant to be the optimum level

Idk I just did but there I was stressing a lot ...

Like faisalalallalallalalla once said you'll be spending hours on end on an additional subject that won't go towards anything in the end

On top of that if you do have 10 units you have more time to focus on those subjects because of more free periods, you don't have to study for an extra subject, etc. meaning that you're less likely to screw up in your 10 units of subjects

That's true, but I'd rather do 12 units even if one doesn't count as long as I do well in the other subjects I'll be happy ... I'm just hoping that I'll get an 80+ ATAR. BUT, I think having 10 units isn't that bad however the person that handles subject selections and anything related to the HSC doesn't let anyone drop to 10 units.
